Winemaker's Notes:

The 2009 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is dark violet in color. Aromas of ripe plum, cherry jam, and coconut. The flavors are that of black cherry, chocolate, oak, and olive. The entry is rich, there are light tannins, and a lingering finish.

Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot
